Having grown up
overseas, I was always interested in languages. How do human languages work and how do
people communicate?
Those
kinds of questions began to evolve into computer languages, networking,
databases¡K how do computers and humans interact? Short answer¡K not very well many times,
we could always do it better. J
22
years into the computer industry and the technology world keeps changing¡K faster
all the time. It is extremely
challenging to try and keep up.
Can we? Should we? We need
to keep abreast of technology but I would suggest that the ¡§bleeding edge¡¨ is
not the place for most of us.
Integrity
Works as a company is all about doing business better¡K the ¡§practical¡¨ use of
computer technology! Since we can¡¦t
be experts in all of it, we don¡¦t try to be. Our focus is on ¡§information¡¨ both
structured and unstructured, gigabytes, terabytes! Although we¡¦ve chosen to specialize on
the Microsoft SQL Server BI platform and develop custom applications in
Microsoft .NET languages, we understand how to integrate data from a variety of
sources¡K large and small. Our
choice has been a practical one¡K how can we get the most value from our technology
dollars?
Our
mantra¡K ¡§From Data to Decisions, Integrity Works¡¨! To us it is all about turning that
computer ¡§jargon¡¨ into timely and efficient sources of ¡§information¡¨. We want to get it to the right people at
the right time. We want to do it in
a way that promotes trust, not just of the systems and the quality of the data,
but the people you work with. We
don¡¦t promise to have all the answers, but we¡¦ll sure work with you when you
have questions.
As
a company, we too are changing¡K we are growing and learning. I appreciate your stopping bye and taking
the time to read these ¡§musings¡¨. We¡¦ve
taken down the website we¡¦ve had in place for 5 years. I hope you¡¦ll be patient with us as we
continue to evolve and our website changes¡K
Best
wishes,
